    People are Talking: UMS Presents The Chieftains:

  • I don’t go out much. I received an e-mail this week offering discounted tickets for this concert. I decided to get out of the house and take advantage of what the University has to offer. I bought the least expensive ticket because I knew from a lecture I heard about Hill Auditorium that there are no bad seats in the house. I sat in the balcony and yes, it was tight quarters, but I could see and hear everything. I didn’t mind the shrieking. It was the type concert that was conducive to energetic outbursts. I enjoyed the enthusiasm. The parking was a pleasant surprise. Most places I go charge $10 and $20 to park. I appreciated the reasonable $5 to park in the near-by Dental School structure. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening.

  • I agree with you, Mike. I was facinated by the dancing. This type dancing is actually part of the rhythm section.

    Wrongo. The jig and toe tapping was just as musical as all else, including that of the female fiddler. Every aspect of the show was fantastic and especially the female singer, the piper band, and the snake dance at the end. I did nit notice any shrieking or whistling per se, but I was on the main floor and not the balcony. Some of the hoots and hollers were from the band. Response from the audience, including the rhythmic clapping added to the show.
